Country music has been mostly garbage for now on 15 years.  Full stop.

But...

...an actual human being going to the store, buying boots and a hat, calling himself a badass and singing songs about pickup trucks, is it really any more fake to have a computer do ALL the work?

Yes. Fuck off with this shit.

Cross posting from the Daily Texan, since some of you probably won't see it.

The number one country song right now is AI-generated.

I say: Put the musicians back in the music!

 AI generated music / 2024-04-26 12:53

Recently, there has been a noticeable uptick in the number of bands being submitted to the site which have AI generated music. We want to make it clear what our position is on these bands, and how we plan to move forward in assessing them.

It went without saying, at least up until now, that when we imagined growing the largest and most complete database of metal music, part of that vision was the preservation of art and human expression through music. Until AI, that was a given. The music described on the site is, in some way, played, programmed, and composed by a human being. That still remains an important criterion for us, and it is our belief that AI generated music does not satisfy that requirement.

With the above in mind, we won't be accepting bands with AI generated albums, and we will scrutinize more thoroughly submissions suspected of having AI generated music.

For those users submitting bands, if you have a band suspected of having AI generated music, we may call upon you to provide evidence to prove otherwise, whether it's behind-the-scenes material, statements from the band or its label, evidence the band played live, promotional material showing the band is genuine, and so on. The more evidence we have to show that such a band is real, and its music composed by a human being, the better. Our goal isn't to make this harder on you, or anyone for that matter, but we do want to stay true to our vision for the site.

This policy isn't perfect and is a work-in-progress which may evolve over time. We know there will be some bands with AI generated music mistakenly added to the site, and we also know mistakes can be made and bands without AI generated material may be flagged for having AI generated music. With your help, we hope to avoid this as much as possible.

Thank you. \m/

Replace "economy" with "society".  At this point AI is a cult. No one actually knows what it is or what it will do, but FOMO has taken over and everyone has chosen to jump on board. It's like if Scientology overtook the major religions.

Back to the Loreal thing, I can actually see a decent tie-in for AI and make-up.  "ChatLipstick, recommend a make-up scheme that makes me look kind of like Emma Stone in Poor Things"..."Use this base, with that eyeliner, and that lipstick, and take your top off...here is a picture of what you will look like."  It's basically what women have been doing for women for decades.  But, two things: 1) Will customers still want to have that interaction, and that tactile experience having someone else apply it; 2) is it worth the money?  How much is someone willing to pay for it? $5 maybe? $20? That won't justify the investment.

Omaha Public Power District just announced they expect a 5-9% increase on rates, per year, through the end of the decade.  No mention of the Facebook and Google data centers recently developed in the service area in the release

The thing is, if you ask neutral questions it gives reasonably useful and measured answers. If you have a coocoo for cocoa puffs framing and question, it leans into that and reflects it back to you. It's like a dog barking at a mirror, and it's driving the qanon crowd even more insane by validating and repeating their nonsense back to them

Seems like it goes to the fundamental neural-network nature of AI in pattern-matching.

And the perhaps even more fundamental nature of numerical computing:  GIGO.

I feel like this isn’t just an AI thing.

The amount of jackwagons that now comment on everything and think they know shit has skyrocketed, regardless of the validity of their thoughts or answers.

AI is only reflecting our cultural AI is only reflecting our cultural Dunning-Kruger.

Well, yeah.  They're training it on material mostly crawled from the internet, which includes a lot of dogshit.

It has authority because it's the "computer" without human intervention.

But it returns what it's "cued" with, so if you prompt it with conspiratorial dogshit, you're gonna get something consonant with conspiratorial dogshit.

I use claude a lot to write oracle stored procedures. It’s very helpful crank out queries and updates that have joins between multiple db tables. But it’ll just make up column names with confidence even though I’ve taught it the joins before. It says “you’re right” a lot to me after I’ve pointed out the error. It doesn’t learn and retain the learnings as well as it should.

The scientific term is mansplaining.

Imagine how bad it's going to get when 90% of the training data is other AI garbage.

Why I’m surprised there isn’t an AI yes/no bit in digital artifacts.  I would think the AI companies would want to have everything flagged for training purposes.

Google’s ai overview says that some platforms put “ai created” tags in the metadata. It doesn’t sound like they all do.
